For the past month, kindergarten students have been listening to all of kinds of stories by Mo Willems, such as Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Knuffle Bunny, Should I Share My Ice Cream (An Elephant & Piggie Book), Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs, That Is Not a Good Idea!, and Hooray for Amanda & Her Alligator! We even explored the Mo Willems website (http://www.gomo.net/page.php?name=Home), which has all kinds of wacky games and we watched an interview with the author (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnLqoZvrMfw).The students absolutely loved hearing Mo's stories and created their own version of Knuffle Bunny.

We talked about how Mo Willems first takes a photograph of his surroundings and then he draws on top of the photograph in order to make the illustrations for Knuffle Bunny. Students then used cameras and iPads to take pictures of anything they wanted in the library.

As you can probably tell, the kiddos were having a blast taking pictures. I uploaded the pictures onto Little Bird Tales and then the students drew on top of the images.Here are the links to the e-books that were created.
